[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Katie Britt proposes bi-partisan social media id bill

Posted: 4/26/2023 9:51:54 PM EDT

Pretty sure people don't want to have to use a govt ID to join ARF, nor have to use a govt digtal ID

If passed, the bill would apply to platforms that offer services in the US and let users publish text, images, and videos.

Platforms that aren’t exempted would have to take “reasonable steps” to confirm a user’s age, “taking into account existing age verification technologies” and going beyond simply checking a box that says you’re over 18.

Users under 13 — who are already theoretically banned from many social media platforms — would not be allowed to create accounts under the rule. For older minors, social media platforms wouldn’t be able to use personal data for algorithmic recommendation systems, though platforms can suggest content or advertising “based on context where the information or advertising is related to the content being viewed by the individual.” Sites will also need a mechanism that lets parents or guardians give consent for their kids to use the platforms.

Any infractions would be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act, which could come with stringent penalties.

The bill doesn’t require any specific age verification method, and it says it shouldn’t be construed to “require users to provide government-issued identification for age verification.” But in its most unusual provision, it would require the Secretary of Commerce to test a program doing just that. No later than two years after the bill goes into effect, the secretary of commerce would need to make a pilot program that would let people obtain a “secure digital identification credential” by uploading copies of IDs or validating identity information shared against electronic government documentation.

In the making? IMO, she’s already one. Looking at her background (she’s been inside DC since 2004), she was absolutely either groomed or planned all along to be one of the swamp creatures.

That sucks. Folks need to stop toeing the line and bring America back to the way it used to be. It all starts at the local level, but people change when they get up in the big house.

So there's the challenge in Alabama. Getting folks out attending Republican events to speak their mind directly to the candidates and the GOP infrastructure, and communicate with people in their circles. Even protest if appropriate, as people protested Bush's ports deal with China and supreme court pick.

Show in public positions and votes as a scorecard to help folks think through who they do and do not invite back to legislatures

She is a created swamp creature.
